Southampton Village will host a community forum and workshop to discuss the Clean Water Project and the efforts to create a sewer district in the downtown village business district. Members of Southampton Village Board & Clean Water Project Committee will present as well as Dr. Chris Gobler The presentation and discussion will touch on why a sewer district is needed, what the sewage treatment plant would look like, how it will work, and more to dispel any myths or misconceptions. Community members are encouraged to come and ask questions and engage in the session.
A sewer district is desperately needed to address the persistent pollution of Lake Agawam and other Village waterbodies. A sewer system would strengthen the business district and allow for more restaurants and additional affordable housing options.
